I don't know that there is a tutorial at that level, which is,
frankly, pretty elementary.
You have to also compile and include in the link step the .c file
created by fdesign. For instance, if your .fd file (the description
file produced by fdesign) is named `foo.fd' and you take the default
option to create the .c and .h files when you save, you'll have, as a
reward for your efforts, the files `foo.c' and `foo.h'. Assuming that
your main is contained in `foo_main.c' and that there are no other
files necessary to build your application, you would do
cc -c foo.c
cc -c foo_main.c
cc -o foo foo_main.o foo.o -lforms -lX11 -lm
(where cc is your favorite C compiler) and you're off to the races.
Obviously, if you have more files that make up your program, you'll
have more compile steps. You may also need to provide other compiler
and linker flags if you're doing something special or your libraries
are in non-standard places.
